About Law College Dehradun

Dehradun Law Review, a law journal of Law College Dehradun, Uttaranchal University anoffshoot of
Uttaranchal University, is a sincere platonic endeavor to explore new horizons of Legal Knowledge.
Retrospectively, our intellectual journey which began in 2002 with the establishment of Law
College Dehradun reached its practical zenith with the ultimate formation of Uttaranchal University
constituted with the merger of Law College Dehradun and its sister concerns UIT and UIM vide the
Uttaranchal University Act, 2012 passed by the legislative assembly of Uttarakhand. Hence the
journal appears to be an exquisite example of academic symphony with the evolution of Uttaranchal
University both as a concept and concrete reality.
The dynamics of socio-legal, political, and economic changes taking place in the global scenario has
brought symmetric changes in the hitherto existing legal paradigms. As a natural sub-theorem, it has led to
new scholastic inducements for in depth analysis in the sphere of law. Matching the pace, our journal
‘Dehradun Law Review’ strenuously endeavors to assimilate changing legal perspectives both in native
and global context and intends to impel intellectual fraternity to address some of the pressing legal issues
which bother the civil
society. Beginning from a wall and web-journal, we have published the eleventh volume ofthe journal
which is the testimony of our principled effort.
The journal received the ISSN number in 2011 which contained the lead presentation by Hon’ble Mr.
Justice A. R. Laxmanan, the then Chairman of Law Commission of India. Thejournal ‘Dehradun Law
Review’ further added feathers to its cap when its fifth and sixth volumes were released by the then
Hon’ble Governor of Uttarakhand Dr. Aziz Quereshi and the then Chief Minister of Uttarakhand Mr.
Harish Rawat respectively. It has received appreciation from across the legal spectrum of the country
and abroad. Legal luminaries and intellectuals from reputed national and international universities have
contributed articles to the journal providing valuable insights into various legal issues in the contemporary
scenario. The Editorial Board of Dehradun Law Review is committed to constantly upgrade the
quality of journal and incessantly continues to propel itself to accomplish its well cherished objective to
become a reputed, refereed and peer reviewed journal benefitting the law students plus academicians
in particular and society in general. We are also proud to state that this journal is got enlisted in
University Grants Commission (UGC) – Care and subsequently got indexed in Google scholar and as
well as in (ICI) Indian Citation Index.
